Due to the desire to avoid overcrowding due to the corona plague, the US is expected to record the highest turnout in a century. More than 95 million Americans have already participated in early ballot or postal voting – 43% of all registered voters and 67% of all voters four years ago. To win, one candidate will have to win 270 of the 538 electors representing the 50 states and Washington, D.C..
Polls point to a clear advantage in Biden’s favor at the national level. Also, in some of the key swing states – including Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Arizona – and a close battle between the two in Florida and Texas. However, India polls, which were burned four years ago when Trump surprised despite a clear advantage from Hillary Clinton, that the president is still capable of coming out with his hand on the top, including if he wins in all southern states and Pennsylvania.
However, it is still unclear whether the identity of the winner will be unequivocally clear on election night or the morning after the vote. Some states, including Pennsylvania, will begin counting the envelopes sent in advance only later this week. Therefore, it is possible that until the count is over it will not be possible to declare a winner in those countries, when even then appeals to the courts are still expected.

Although Trump has denied the publications that he intends to declare victory tonight if the figures show he is leading. He made no secret of his intention to use legal tools to challenge a vote count after Election Day, and even get to the Supreme Court where there is now a solid Republican majority.
“I think there is a great danger here and I think there is fraud and unfair management going on,” Trump said. “Once the election night is over, we will go in with our lawyers.”
Due to the lack of clarity that is expected to accompany the voting results over long days, in addition to the frustration that the losing camp may feel, there is a growing fear that the US will enter a whirlpool of violence involving right-wing armed militias and “black life” activists and other left-wing movements. The law increased their deployment, while many businesses protected their storefronts to prevent looting.

The FBI announced the opening of an investigation, and President Trump did not hide his displeasure. “These patriots did nothing wrong,” he said. “Instead, the FBI and the Department of Justice need to investigate the terrorists, anarchists and instigators of Antifa who are running around and setting fire to the cities run by Democrats and harming our people.”
Just before Election Day, the two candidates held their last rallies yesterday. President Trump also held five mass events yesterday, for the second day in a row, when he arrived in North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and twice to Michigan.
At a rally held by Trump in Florida on Sunday night, he hinted that he would fire Anthony Pucci from running the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases if he was elected to a second term. “Wait a minute after the election,” the president told a crowd chanting “Get rid of Pauchi!” “He’s a nice person, but he made a lot of mistakes. I’m watching the fake polls, “the president added. “We are going to win anyway. We look very good in the real polls. ” Biden held two rallies in Pennsylvania, the state where he was born, and also came to Ohio. “Tomorrow we have an opportunity to put an end to the presidency that has divided this nation,” he read. “It’s time for Donald Trump to pack his bags and go home. We are done with the chaos. “
Democrats are dreaming of a revolution in the Republican Senate
The White House race is at the center of the U.S. election campaign, but U.S. voters will also determine the composition of the Senate, with Democrats hoping to make a turnaround that is expected to complete control of both houses of Congress and give them much power, regardless of the president-elect. The Republicans led by Mitch McConnell now hold a majority of 53 senators compared to a minority of 45 Democrats led by Chuck Schumer, and two other independents who are leaning in favor of the Democrats. That is, with 35 seats up for grabs in the current election, including 23 Republicans and 12 Democrats.
Democrats need a reversal in at least four of the votes – and the retention of all their seats – to become the largest party in the Senate, for the first time since 2014, with polls suggesting that the chances are high. If Joe Biden wins the presidency, the Democrats will be able to hold a majority even in a 50-50 tie due to the decisive vote of the deputy, Camela Harris.
If the Democrats retain the majority in the House of Representatives, control of Capitol Hill will give them power in any scenario in which the White House ends – if Donald Trump is re-elected, they will be able to block his legislative efforts, while Biden’s victory will allow them to advance legislation, starting with taxes And to the environment.
